Captain Mikes South Padre Fishing Report 2/7/26. The bay fishing has been good lately. Last week was action packed. Caught some snook on soft plastics in deeper water. Black drum are schooled up and cruising the deeper water transitions looking for food. Redfish are starting to cruise the edges of the channels and adjacent grass flats once the water temperatures rise throughout the day. Speckled trout are hanging in the deepest waters along the bottom where grass and sandy bottom mix. Look for the margarita colored water or murkier mix. Great time to get out and stretch a line into...

Pre-and post cold front fishing has been outstanding with both numbers of keeper sized speckled trout. Red fishing remains consistent both on the fly and with Conventional tackle on artificial lures.

The bay fishing has remained good through out the past couple of weeks. Catching solid redfish out on the flats around South Padre. Fresh cut mullet or ballyhoo rigged up and off the bottom is working great. Catching both reds and speckled trout on soft plastics that resemble mullet-type lures. Try working plastics slower than normal across sand potholes. Trout are hanging in deeper water transitions. Good time to go hook into some good fish here at South Padre.

    Trip: 3 Hour Quick Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Todd, and his First Mate Fernando, provided a trip that exceeded any expectations we could’ve had (6hr charter) for a first timers trip. Capt. Todd put us on fish all day, while Fernando expertly assisted 3 absolute beginners, helping us reel in a sailfish as the first fish of the day (catch and release). It didn’t seem like very long before we were on the red snapper and getting bites left and right, hitting our limit quick. Can’t recommend them enough and already thinking about that next trip! *Not pictured: 2 barracuda and a Spanish mackerel that were released

    Marc and Brandi were a great team. We got on the fish quick and had a limit of trout by 10. The boat is in excellent condition and had plenty of space for the three of us to fish. They had multiple rigs set up to use as the conditions changed. I would book again without hesitation.
